history

The Cistercian Priory of Galilee was founded in 1191 three kilometers southeast of Hallum and placed under the supervision of the neighboring Klaarkamp monastery. In 1580, in the course of the establishment of the Protestant Republic of the Seven United Provinces, the monastery was dissolved and the buildings dismantled. Today in Hallum the area "Genezareth Kloosterpolder" and the (1850) "Genezareth Kloosterpolder windmill" remind of the former monastery.
